Chinese F1 Update

Wow!!! now the last race of the season is the decider for the championship. Probably Lewis is on his way in making history!!
Can't wait for the Brazilian race, it is Massa's home track.. Yuppeee. So we should expect Massa is going to give a tough fight to Lewis, just 7 points seperate Massa and Lewis. Massa can win the championship only if he wins the race and Lewis finishes 6th or below. If Lewis finishes 2nd, he will still win the championship.
Now to the actual race, I am not really sure why Ferrari was on softer compound tires looked to me that it was the main reason for Ferrari being slower to Mclaren. Also after the Massa's second pit stop, he changed to hard compound tires and he was looking much more comfortable and car was doing good speeds. Ferrari should have started the race with hard compound tires. Guess Ferrari should win the Constructors title this year, they are leading the points table now.
Surprising fact is Alonso and Renault.. man that car was good on tracks. Next season should be fun, having real 4 strong teams competing.
I would have loved to see Ferrari one two on the podium.

Well 11 more days to go for the Brazilian race, till then happy waiting ;)

Japanese F1 update

Again what a race!!! kudos to Alonso and Renault, he his back to top again :)
Talking about Renault, they have been lacking in Aerodynamics from more than a year now..looks like they have sorted out the problems :)
It has been a dramatic race, first corner mann..one has to watch it to believe it!!! Lewis was penalized( drive through penalty ) for breaking hard and late at the first corner, which made almost all cars to slide of the track!!!!
Then it was massa's turn, he was penalized with drive through for bumping his rear tire into Lewis which made him spin and move back to the last position!!!
It was a bad day for Mclaren, Heikki Kovalainen's had a engine problem and retired race very early. Lewis did not manage to get a point!!!
Kimi started the race from P2 really well, but due to the over aggressive move by Lewis actually threw him out of the circuit to 5th or 6th place..he managed to finish the race at 3rd place...but he is out of chances from now on to retain the championship :(
Just 5 points difference between Massa and Lewis!!! Guess will have a 2 great races to watch :)

Now with 4 teams really doing good - Ferrari, Mclaren, BMW and Renault. We will have a great race next year toooooo.
